Crews were working Tuesday to clear an avalanche that hit a few houses in the area of Alpine Meadows, according to the California Highway Patrol.

CHP says nobody was injured, but resident Siig Steven's Facebook posts above suggest some serious challenges for people in the area.

"Think the snow wall could have been 15-20 ft. tall," Stevens wrote on his Facebook page.
